Geological Field Work in the High Andes DAY IN THE LIFE

University of Arizona Geoscience PhD students Caden Howlett and Chance Ronemus recently completed a ten-week field season in the south-central Andes of South America (31-36S). This video records an average day in the life of a geologist. We sample rock for thermochronology, give some tips on conducting field work abroad, and reveal our normal base camp operations. Please reach out with any geology-related questions and I hope you enjoy the video. • Our work is part of an interdisciplinary effort to understand the geologic evolution of the Andean mountain belt (TANGO; the “Trans ANdean Great Orogeny”). Funding for this research is provided by the Frontier Research in Earth Sciences (FRES) program and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
